Thank you for choosing HCM
There are 2 possibilities in this case. One is that you have a migraine and the other is that you have a cervical compression syndrome.
In case of a migraine, you will be getting symptoms of a recurring headache and some aura or add-on symptoms like the numbness
In the compression syndrome the compression is causing the numbness and the headache is a con-incidental finding. I recommend that you see a Doctor to get examined and confirm the diagnosis.
All the best. Wish you a quick recovery.
Hope this helps you
